2.8.7 Loader lift arm locking system
CAUTION
Possibility of inadvertent loader lift arm activation.
Inadvertent activation can result in the loader arms dropping causing the bucket or attachment to engage the road surface. This can result in loss of machine control with possible injury to the operator and other work site persons.
►
Always lock the loader lift arm control to prevent inadvertent activation during travel.
►
The operator shall not leave the operator seat until the loader arms and attachment have been lowered to and are resting on the ground.
The loader lift arm can be secured against unintentional operation by means of a locking mechanism.
If you have switched on the locking mechanism, the loader lift arms will not move if the loader controls are moved. The fact that the loader lift arm is locked is not shown via indicator lights, but instead can be
seen from the position of the switching lever (Fig. 9).
